The mathematics major is not just for those interested in graduate studies in mathematics. In fact, a math background prepares you for a huge range of careers, including law, business, medicine, teaching, and government.

Our Bachelor of Arts (BA) in math requires a minimum of 11 mathematics courses, two physics courses, and study of a foreign language. The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree requires a minimum of 14 mathematics courses and two physics courses, but no foreign language study. You can also take advantage of several interdisciplinary programs and combine a major in mathematics with one in computer science, physics, or biology.

Many of the mathematics courses that we offer use computers for visualization, modeling, and numerical approximation. The math computer lab features 28 personal computers supported by student mentors in a pleasant physical environment.
